Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our Legionella Awareness Training Course is as follows:
Module 1: What is Legionella?
Begin by understanding what Legionella is, where the bacteria can be found, and how exposure can occur. The module introduces Legionella-related health risks and explains why awareness matters in building and workplace environments.
Module 2: Legal Responsibilities
Responsibility for managing water-related risks can involve different people within an organisation or property. This section introduces relevant responsibilities and the importance of maintaining appropriate safety and management practices.
Module 3: Hazardous Environments
Certain water systems and environmental conditions can create more favourable circumstances for Legionella growth. Learners explore potential hazardous environments and factors such as water stagnation, temperature, and system conditions.
Module 4: Legionella Risk Assessment
Effective risk management starts with recognising potential sources of exposure and evaluating the conditions involved. This module introduces the principles of Legionella risk assessment and the factors that should be considered when reviewing water-system risks.
Module 5: Controlling the Risks
Once risks have been identified, suitable control measures can help reduce the likelihood of exposure. Topics include water-system management, temperature control, cleaning, maintenance, monitoring, and other approaches used to manage Legionella risks.
Module 6: Legionella Awareness in a Post-COVID World
Changes in building use and periods of reduced occupancy can affect water-system management. The final section considers Legionella awareness in post-COVID environments and why appropriate water-system monitoring and management remain important.
